This Past Weekend with Theo Von - E296 Taut Baby

00:00:00.440 Today's episode is brought to you by Gray Block Pizza. Gray Block Pizza. You know what it is, baby boy. Get that hitter.

00:00:11.880 Man. My neck hurts. Oh, my neck hurts. Sometimes I feel, you know, like just, I mean, just like every, I feel just like all my emotions and

00:00:27.640 hopes and fears and everything are just thumb wrestling in the back of my neck. That's where I

00:00:35.220 keep a lot of tension. You know, that's how I, you know, I'm kind of a tension man. Some people refer

00:00:43.920 to me as a tension man. You know, when I was born, the doctor said, oh, he's taut. This baby's real

00:00:51.060 taut. You know, you couldn't, you know, wasn't like a super, you know, some children, they're

00:00:57.060 real malleable. They'll come out foot first, head first. They come out, you know, sometimes

00:01:01.680 they'll put a foot out and put it back, you know, they'll hang a foot out and then pull

00:01:05.480 it back in like they're doing, you know, the hokey pokey from, you know, from birth. You 0.97

00:01:12.440 put your left foot in the world, you take your left foot, you know, and then there, shoulder

00:01:16.660 first, lean with it, rock with it, and then Fat Joe rolls right out of a womb. You know,

00:01:22.540 that's how some babies are. But that wasn't me. You know, I was, they, I remember reading

00:01:33.540 and, you know, my mother kept a lot of scripture and everything about my birth and different

00:01:38.180 child memories and stuff like that. Even when she didn't have a camera, I remember there were

00:01:45.620 some pages I have a baby book and my mother would draw a picture of me having a good time

00:01:49.840 or draw a picture of me crying out on the porch. But I remember what it said in there

00:01:54.580 when I was born, oh, he, the doctor said he's, you know, 11 pounds, whatever, but he's

00:01:59.680 taught. He's real, real, this baby is damn real taught, you know, like he just a little 0.57

00:02:06.360 well done. And that's kind of how I've always been. Were you breached birth, Riley? 0.89

00:02:12.300 Riley? I was not.

00:02:17.060 All right, man. Well, let's, there's different ways to do it. Let's get into the episode.

00:02:20.620 Love is laughing in the springtime the other day. On my way to see you.

00:02:34.060 Crowds of people trying to stare. There's nothing left to see. You and me.

00:02:43.380 Time is no stranger. If you're all by yourself. This time there's no danger. Cause you found someone else.

00:03:07.840 These words told me to be patient. Love will find its way. Wait and see.

00:03:23.400 Well, I waited so frustrated for a day to never come. Look what's happened to me.

00:03:31.840 Come on, break it down, Stevie.

00:03:35.180 Time is no stranger. When you're all by yourself.

00:03:44.860 Come on, Stevie Starlight, ladies and gentlemen.

00:03:47.020 This time there's no danger. Cause you found someone else.

00:03:57.120 Stay waiting all of them. Times you leave.

00:04:04.380 And ladies and gentlemen, right there, that's Stevie Starlight.

00:04:08.340 With Time is no stranger.

00:04:12.960 And that's off his new album, Unnaturally Happy.

00:04:20.640 So you can grab that.

00:04:22.600 And get that sound inside of you.

00:04:24.200 Yeah, I was that taut baby.

00:04:28.460 I was that taut baby.

00:04:31.500 I've always been that taut baby.

00:04:34.600 You know, just...

00:04:36.200 Just taut.

00:04:39.140 You know, just...

00:04:42.280 You know, I remember my mother was...

00:04:44.360 My mother's always had...

00:04:46.000 Riley Miles here.

00:04:47.660 How are you today, Riley?

00:04:49.000 I'm doing well. It's great to be here again.

00:04:51.500 Yep. We're having you back, man.

00:04:53.200 And, you know, it's a trial basis.

00:04:55.540 And I hate to say that, you know, to you like that.

00:04:58.740 But that's life.

00:04:59.980 Right. Exactly.

00:05:01.200 You know, life's a trial basis.

00:05:03.200 And how old are you?

00:05:05.540 I am 22.

00:05:06.560 Okay.

00:05:07.420 So you're 22 years into the trial of life, really.

00:05:10.760 True. Right.

00:05:11.480 And so, yeah, we're gonna see and just see how people react to you and, you know, but, you know, we're happy to have you back for an episode and we'll see how people kind of react to you.

00:05:25.040 It's great to be back.

00:05:26.100 Yeah.

00:05:26.900 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:05:27.660 Do you have any birth defects or anything like that?

00:05:33.260 Can't say I have.

00:05:34.980 I mean, I'm a musician, like I said.

00:05:37.440 But, no, when you were born, were you missing anything?

00:05:39.220 Did you have any birth defects?

00:05:41.160 Um, dang, dude, I'm not sure.

00:05:43.740 I don't think so.

00:05:44.680 Okay.

00:05:45.240 So straight up full birth.

00:05:46.920 Yeah.

00:05:47.840 Wow.

00:05:48.240 Must be nice, man.

00:05:49.260 That's how it is these days.

00:05:50.360 When I was young, I'll tell you this story.

00:05:51.960 When I was young, people were born, you'd have a buddy missing a, you know, you'd have a buddy missing a clavicle.

00:05:58.780 You know, you'd have a friend, you know, it wasn't crazy to shake somebody's hand and only feel four on them.

00:06:03.660 Right.

00:06:03.780 You know?

00:06:04.680 It was a different time.

00:06:06.080 Somebody, people were uneven.

00:06:07.640 Right. 0.95

00:06:07.960 Somebody missing half a Cossack's or half of a damn, you know, have a square occipital, orbital entrance. 0.97

00:06:15.680 You know? 0.99

00:06:15.900 Somebody, you know, have a damn square eye. 0.99

00:06:18.720 It was just different times. 0.99

00:06:19.920 People had rabies.

00:06:21.800 Uh, what else?

00:06:24.020 They had, people had diseases.

00:06:27.620 Uh, you, you know, I grew up, they had just the tail end of polio.

00:06:30.580 You'd see somebody dragging themselves down, you know, dragging, you know, maybe they had a cane or a cane.

00:06:35.500 Somebody got them a cane that was too short.

00:06:39.020 And so they, you know, somebody out there short canning, just barely.

00:06:42.420 Might as well just, I mean, look like, you know, might as well just drag themselves. 0.98

00:06:47.220 If you're short canning, it looks like you're doing damn magic. 0.97

00:06:49.360 Like you're out there just, you know. 0.97

00:06:50.960 Right.

00:06:51.600 Is it Cosmaticus or whatever.

00:06:53.380 But, anyway, you never had asthma or anything, huh?

00:06:56.480 I have not.

00:06:57.040 But, God, man, living in luxury.

00:07:00.760 Living in luxury.

00:07:02.700 We're coming out here again.

00:07:03.860 This is, um, episode two from the Central East and happy to be here with you today.

00:07:10.880 Uh, what's going on?

00:07:14.040 You know, I've been doing the MMA.

00:07:15.640 That's what's really going on, man.

00:07:18.640 And my body just feels, I mean, it's so you get in there.

00:07:25.820 And, yeah, I'm still fighting the women. 1.00

00:07:27.800 I'm fighting the women and it's, uh, and they are, man. 1.00

00:07:33.340 I'm glad some of these women weren't my mother because my mother put a good, you know, put a good A whooping on me. 1.00

00:07:38.800 You know, she beat, I mean, my mother kind of lady, she beat both cheeks. 1.00

00:07:43.320 She'll make you pull on your pants afterwards and make sure they're both red. 1.00

00:07:47.140 Not one of these one-cheek wonders.

00:07:48.940 A lot of these moms, they, you know, they get one cheek red and they give up. 1.00

00:07:54.540 Mm-mm.

00:07:56.460 My mom gonna burn up both of your little bottom hillsides, baby. 1.00

00:08:03.360 That's how she was.

00:08:04.700 You know, she's a hard worker. 0.67

00:08:06.960 Uh.

00:08:08.800 But, yeah, what was I talking about?

00:08:13.200 You know what I was talking about, man, by chance?

00:08:14.760 I don't know.

00:08:16.700 Um, you were talking about what's current and you were, um, doing MMA.

00:08:20.500 Oh, yeah.

00:08:20.940 Thank you.

00:08:21.760 So, you're in there and you got a man in your lap and you in a man's lap. 0.93

00:08:25.820 And it's really, I mean, it's just so, it reminds me of monkeys.

00:08:32.200 When you see monkeys in a zoo or a penitentiary or something, if you've ever been in one of those, you know,

00:08:37.780 animal prisons in, um, uh, Bali.

00:08:43.240 You know, in Bali, they have so many monkeys that a lot of them have gone and they put them in a detention, the bad ones, they put them in a detention centers.

00:08:50.540 Have you seen any of this, uh, Riley?

00:08:53.360 I have.

00:08:54.180 Yeah.

00:08:54.440 And so, when you look at that kind of stuff and you see the bad ones, what, do you, you support that kind of thing? 0.75

00:09:00.900 I mean, they're, they're monkeys. 0.87

00:09:02.660 Yeah.

00:09:03.360 Yeah.

00:09:03.540 I support all monkeys, whether they're, whether they're bad or not.

00:09:07.040 But, yeah, and, well, yeah, I mean, I guess that's one way to do it.

00:09:12.100 But, I, for me, if you're already a monkey, that's risque for me.

00:09:16.760 And then if you are a bad one, at that point, you know, I'm not trying to take one of God's animals out of commission, but we gotta, we gotta thin the herd a little bit. 0.86

00:09:27.400 You know, you're a bad monkey and they're having detention centers for you, it's too much for me. 0.87

00:09:32.540 For me, at a certain point, you gotta stop the bus. 0.91

00:09:36.540 But, um, anyway, but, yeah, you get out there, you do anything in May, and I'm over there, and there's, like, you know, people are being really helpful.

00:09:43.740 It's definitely, you know, they'll have somebody who'll show you the same move 30 times.

00:09:49.340 And I'll be in there for, for, for an hour, and all I learned was, I don't, I can't even explain to you what I learned.

00:09:56.460 Like, how to roll over.

00:09:58.380 Okay.

00:09:58.660 You know, it's almost, uh, something you would see a strong baby do.

00:10:04.760 Everybody's behaving like animals.

00:10:06.040 They're behaving like, it reminds you when you see the chimpanzees.

00:10:09.240 When you see the little, you know, the monk, the monotontos, you know.

00:10:13.200 The crazy monkeys, whatever.

00:10:14.780 You know, that's how they're doing.

00:10:16.460 Some are sitting on the side, just kind of watching.

00:10:18.980 A couple of them are rolling around.

00:10:20.460 You're grabbing each other's feet, neck.

00:10:23.340 You know, that sort of thing.

00:10:24.600 Um, and it's wild, man.

00:10:26.600 My, the, the tips of my fingers are all sore, almost like I've been playing the guitar.

00:10:29.880 But the instrument that I'm playing really is, it's, you're playing like another person really.

00:10:40.460 But the instrument that I'm playing is, it's almost like I'm playing my own, I don't want to say confidence.

00:10:55.300 But I've been, it's like, um, it's like you have these little scars from playing your own.

00:11:03.440 I can't really think of it.

00:11:05.720 But that's what, that's what it is.

00:11:07.500 You're just on the ground.

00:11:08.260 You're just learning this thing over and over again.

00:11:11.240 You know, when you're doing the MMA.

00:11:13.880 So, have you taken any classes like that, Riley?

00:11:16.340 Do you have a, uh, do you have a, um, extracurricular thing that you do?

00:11:22.820 I do.

00:11:23.240 Um, I was in Taekwondo for many years as a, as a teen.

00:11:27.420 Wow.

00:11:28.460 And how, uh, did you guys train often?

00:11:30.640 Or were you under a certain sensei or whatever?

00:11:33.560 Um, yeah.

00:11:34.340 So, it's this one location by my house in Anaheim.

00:11:37.520 And, um, I would go there almost every day after school and just train.

00:11:43.320 Like, constantly.

00:11:44.800 Um, and I made it up to Black Belt. 0.99

00:11:46.440 Damn, really? 0.98

00:11:47.240 Yeah, that was my, like, top goal. 0.99

00:11:48.980 Um, same as Eagle Scout.

00:11:50.040 I made it, a lot of people don't make it to Eagle Scout.

00:11:51.800 I made it to Eagle Scout.

00:11:52.940 I made it to Black Belt.

00:11:54.500 Now, is there, in the Eagle Scouting process, is there a, is there a letting, is there like

00:11:58.880 a moment where it's like, okay, you guys are all lined up and they say, okay, you know,

00:12:03.140 William, you're going to be an Eagle Scout.

00:12:04.900 Teresa, you're going to be one.

00:12:06.460 You know, you know, Anthony, you're going to be one.

00:12:09.100 And then, you guys kind of step forward.

00:12:11.260 And I, I kind of picture these other kids, you know, you know, this guy couldn't make

00:12:15.620 a, you know, couldn't make the, whatever he needed, a, you know, a edible shovel or whatever,

00:12:21.240 you know, the different merit badges.

00:12:22.720 He couldn't do it.

00:12:23.500 And so, he has to, is there a separation of the, you know, of the haves and the have-nots

00:12:29.220 at a certain point?

00:12:30.580 Honestly, not really a separation, but it's more like, like, hey, if they don't want to,

00:12:37.600 you know, it's, it's totally their problem.

00:12:39.240 They don't have to.

00:12:40.580 But I know a lot of people, a lot of people try to get to that point.

00:12:44.620 Like, at the very beginning, I know they want, that's why they joined Scouting, because

00:12:48.160 they want to become an Eagle Scout.

00:12:49.580 Oh, yeah.

00:12:50.200 But later on, once they like go through all of the hard work and all the merit badges,

00:12:55.020 they're all like, you know, I, it's too much.

00:12:57.280 I give up.

00:12:57.700 I have too much on my plate.

00:12:58.900 Or like, I just don't want to do this anymore.

00:13:00.840 Yeah.

00:13:01.420 Oh, it's Navy SEALs for fourth graders.

00:13:03.120 It's Navy SEALs for fourth graders.

00:13:04.520 Right, essentially.

00:13:05.440 Is there, um, is there a, is everybody cut out to be an Eagle Scout?

00:13:13.880 If, I want to say yes and no.

00:13:17.640 Yes, if they have their minds set to it, then yeah, they can be an Eagle Scout.

00:13:22.440 It's not, it's not too hard to the point where it's impossible.

00:13:26.320 It's always possible.

00:13:27.520 You just have to, just, just believe.

00:13:30.440 You have to apply yourself.

00:13:31.420 And, right.

00:13:31.980 Apply yourself, work for it.

00:13:33.420 Okay.

00:13:34.080 And is there a special, was there, is there a finishing?

00:13:39.680 Because I'm just wondering how, is there a, because what I'm picturing is a moment, there's

00:13:43.520 a night somewhere, there's a campfire, there's a tent.

00:13:46.460 And there's like, you know, a man comes in, everybody's wearing kerchiefs and everybody,

00:13:52.360 which I like that style.

00:13:53.820 You know, I like the Eagle Scout style.

00:13:55.580 First of all, I like the, I like kind of the flair.

00:13:59.120 It's almost like, uh, Bear Grylls meets TGI Fridays kind of in a weird way.

00:14:04.520 You know how they have like a lot of the, you know, the medallions in that.

00:14:08.140 Right.

00:14:08.360 But, but what I'm, I just picture that there's a night or by a campfire or something or an

00:14:14.840 extended cab tent where people are saying, you know, I'm, I'm going on and you're not,

00:14:21.480 you know, and you're, I'm going into this other tent.

00:14:24.760 I'm a, I'm, I'm an Eagle now.

00:14:26.500 And you are what we blow is under Eagle.

00:14:28.820 Um, no, Weebelos is the bridge from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts.

00:14:33.780 Okay.

00:14:34.420 And that's where you guys lose a lot of people too, huh?

00:14:36.600 Right.

00:14:37.260 Yeah.

00:14:37.400 Cause a lot of people, and I've actually lost a lot of friends from the, not friends.

00:14:41.660 I mean, you could say it.

00:14:42.880 Well, I mean, they're still my friends, but I've lost them like going from Cub Scouts

00:14:46.780 to Boy Scouts cause they didn't want to transition on.

00:14:49.220 Wow.

00:14:49.580 Um, but I mean, you know, it's totally their choice.

00:14:52.320 I mean, they're, they're doing well now.

00:14:54.140 Um, I see all of them.

00:14:55.400 Are they?

00:14:56.300 I mean.

00:14:56.960 Yeah.

00:14:57.260 You see them on Facebook, but you see them in the field.

00:14:58.800 Do you see them using the skills that you guys have learned?

00:15:03.200 You know, that's what, cause that's where it matters, man.

00:15:05.720 You know, uh, that's what I'm saying.

00:15:07.160 When I was young, you, you came out of the womb. 0.99

00:15:10.100 You had a lot of people had to, you know, you had to boat, not your own damn umbilical 0.99

00:15:13.580 cord. 0.99

00:15:14.280 Right.

00:15:14.640 You know, there wasn't a man in there.

00:15:16.220 Now they cut your umbilical cord.

00:15:17.640 They'll give a, you know, the mail up, you can mail, they got a website.

00:15:21.480 They'll mail a piece of a teacher, your grandparents, that kind of stuff.

00:15:24.460 You know, a little fricking, uh, you know, that utero caviar or whatever.

00:15:28.800 They're calling it now.

00:15:29.760 And they all get together on a zoom call and all four of your grandparents, you know,

00:15:33.400 you know, do a shot of, uh, you know, Greek whiskey or whatever.

00:15:37.760 And, you know, eat the babies and whatever, you know, everybody, you know, eat the umbilical

00:15:42.360 cord at the same time.

00:15:43.180 You know, there's all these little group chats or whatever, but when I was young, it was different.

00:15:47.600 That's what I'm trying to tell you, brother.

00:15:49.340 Right.

00:15:49.680 Um, but that intro song was Stevie Starlight, man.

00:15:53.120 That's unnaturally happy.

00:15:55.820 And, uh, and man, he'd been with us since the beginning of this show and he sent me a

00:16:00.920 nice email the other day, just checking in.

00:16:03.600 Um, yeah, what's going on, man?

00:16:08.480 This week, this past week has been good.

00:16:10.880 It's been good.

00:16:11.740 It's been, you know, I had some moments where I was really like, you know, what am I doing?

00:16:19.300 How am I going to kind of make this work?

00:16:21.820 This feels uncomfortable.

00:16:23.880 Um, you know, uh, had a, had a day where I didn't want to do anything, you know, was

00:16:30.660 really feeling down in the dumps.

00:16:34.540 Um, you know, and thankfully there's more, I have moments in that day where it's like,

00:16:38.880 okay, just, you know, yeah, maybe half the day hasn't gone well, but let's get the other

00:16:43.980 half.

00:16:44.520 Let's salvage this other half of this day and let's go.

00:16:48.660 Um, you know, one of the beauties of, of, uh, just so the past few years has been meeting

00:16:56.800 guys and being able to come into worlds, um, you know, like, you know, Joe Rogan, you

00:17:05.080 meet Joe Rogan, you get into his universe and know him and you get inspired and then you

00:17:09.360 start, you know, following guys like David Goggins and reading their books and Jocko Willink

00:17:14.160 and, um, and, uh, Cam Haynes and, and, uh, and you start getting, I guess it's like inspirational

00:17:23.140 type of guys.

00:17:24.160 You have Dustin Poirier come in and sit down, you know?

00:17:26.920 Um, and you just, it, it's interesting.

00:17:31.220 I start to realize that I, I almost, thankfully I almost know too many people now who don't

00:17:41.180 give up to give up like for like a full day sometimes.

00:17:47.020 If that makes any sense, it's, it's just like, uh, it, it's like, oh, if you stack your deck

00:17:55.020 of cards with enough cards that, you know, if you take some of the fives out of your deck

00:18:00.740 and you throw in a couple extra Jacks, you know, something with a sword, you throw in

00:18:06.340 a couple extra Jokers, you know, a couple extra beefy Jokers, you know, some Riddler,

00:18:11.800 some Juggler using, using test 200 or something. 0.95

00:18:15.680 And now you got a deck of, you know, you got a deck of cards that are, it's a little bit

00:18:20.680 stronger.

00:18:21.260 It's a little bit more like inspirational, I guess.

00:18:25.500 Yeah.

00:18:25.900 I guess I've just found myself getting more into, you know, I know enough inspirational

00:18:29.400 people almost personally, um, where, yeah, it's, it's interesting.

00:18:37.320 It almost makes it harder for me to give up on myself a little bit.

00:18:40.260 Um, so I don't know what I'm saying really there, but what I was saying was I was just,

00:18:46.040 yeah, sometimes you have tough times, but I got some calls that were welcoming.

00:18:49.980 Um, oh, a man called me the N word.

00:18:54.580 I'll say that. 0.84

00:18:55.560 And it was a black man, uh, black man called me the N word.

00:19:01.040 And I just, I just said, Hey man, you know, it's our time, brother.

00:19:07.940 That's what I told him.

00:19:09.300 I said, it's our time to shine, baby.

00:19:12.400 You know, BLM daddy. 0.95

00:19:14.040 We can't be putting each other down.

00:19:15.320 Um, so, you know, it's just interesting.

00:19:22.180 How do you, how do you deal with kind of inverse racism a little bit?

00:19:26.320 Have you ever had to deal with anything like this rally?

00:19:29.880 Um, some, uh, sometimes a little with, um, racism with being Asian and all, um, as a child.

00:19:36.300 I mean, now never, I mean, even if I do, I kind of laugh it off as a joke.

00:19:40.960 Cause I mean, I honestly couldn't care less what people think.

00:19:43.440 Yeah.

00:19:43.960 Um, about that.

00:19:44.820 Like I'm not, I'm not too sensitive about racism, racism to Asians.

00:19:50.960 Yeah.

00:19:51.520 Um, but.

00:19:53.060 And Asians handle things differently, man. 1.00

00:19:55.240 Right.

00:19:55.820 You guys are really kind of like, you guys kind of bob and weave with the racism.

00:20:01.000 I feel like.

00:20:01.940 Right.

00:20:02.200 You know, and if, you know, you guys, you know, you look at Asians, there's, and there's

00:20:06.460 also all different, what I don't like is get specific with the racism, these Asians. 1.00

00:20:13.680 You know, I've said it.

00:20:14.720 I've definitely said it.

00:20:15.780 I'll be honest with you.

00:20:16.900 Oh yeah.

00:20:17.380 Everyone has.

00:20:18.100 Yeah.

00:20:18.820 I mean, I'm sure you probably said, you know, if people are behaving a certain way, I mean,

00:20:23.680 I stereotype all the time and I like, I like it sometimes.

00:20:27.220 It doesn't mean my heart is bad, right?

00:20:29.880 There's such a difference between somebody who's out there sharpening a sword, writing,

00:20:34.180 you know, you know, some, uh, writing a name on it, like writing a black man's name or a

00:20:40.360 white man's name or a Asian man's name or something on it.

00:20:43.920 You know, this, you know, this sword is for, you know, Ladarius or something, you know,

00:20:49.140 it's like, that's crazy. 0.97

00:20:51.000 But if you're just like, oh man, dude, these Asian people are driving me nuts. 1.00

00:20:56.720 If say, if you're stuck somewhere at a festival or something like an Asian festival, that's 0.51

00:21:02.960 not, is that racism?

00:21:04.640 If everybody's Asian at the festival?

00:21:06.940 Not really.

00:21:07.800 Yeah.

00:21:08.280 Yeah.

00:21:08.860 And plus dude, you got to look at, I believe that we all are going to, I believe in beige

00:21:15.440 power.

00:21:16.080 That's what I say.

00:21:16.860 I believe we're all hurtling towards one color, eventually, tone.

00:21:23.200 I mean, you and I are probably almost the same skin tone.

00:21:25.960 Yeah.

00:21:26.340 About, yeah.

00:21:27.580 Getting there.

00:21:28.360 Closer. 0.98

00:21:29.640 I mean, we're almost the same damn skin tone, man. 0.97

00:21:32.240 Right. 0.91

00:21:33.180 You know, it's also, yeah, I don't know what I'm talking about, but, but yeah, the guy

00:21:39.700 called me the N word.

00:21:40.380 I don't know what to do, you know?

00:21:42.120 And honestly, part of me, I was pretty excited.

00:21:44.760 I'll be honest with you.

00:21:48.600 You know, I quit using the N word probably about four years ago when everybody else did. 0.75

00:21:53.000 Fully.

00:21:53.940 I mean, I would never actively, you know, but people would, you know, if I saw it in a,

00:21:59.940 sometimes people would do, you know, like you'd be playing that game of where you draw

00:22:04.340 something out of a hat and you try to act out the movie.

00:22:07.060 You know what that game is, Riley?

00:22:08.180 You've ever played that in your town?

00:22:09.980 Um, yeah, charades.

00:22:13.140 Yeah.

00:22:13.480 Yeah.

00:22:13.880 Definitely played charades.

00:22:15.440 And, uh, are you good at charades?

00:22:18.660 No, not at all.

00:22:20.440 Oh, wow.

00:22:21.240 I wish I was.

00:22:23.900 And what I would see was, uh, people would write it in there, write in a racial slur or

00:22:30.500 something. 0.93

00:22:31.120 And so you'd pick it out and you start acting it out and you're like, oh shit, this isn't 0.99

00:22:34.320 even a movie. 1.00

00:22:35.020 You know, this is racism.

00:22:36.420 Right.

00:22:36.700 But so, you know, you'd see that old trick, but anyway, uh, but yeah, I just didn't know

00:22:42.300 how to react.

00:22:43.380 You know, I, I didn't know how to react to that.

00:22:46.320 And so I just, I figured one day we're all going to be the same thing.

00:22:52.520 So I tried to channel that energy from the future and say, Hey man, you know, just accept

00:23:01.040 the net.

00:23:01.420 Just, it's our time, baby.

00:23:03.100 You know, we're out here, brother.

00:23:06.360 That's what I said.

00:23:08.060 And I tried to handle it as good as I could, you know, cause there's no, there's no correct

00:23:12.660 way to handle that kind of thing.

00:23:14.760 There's no correct way to handle that kind of thing.

00:23:17.200 Um, what else do we have going on, man?

00:23:22.540 Uh, what else is happening?

00:23:28.040 Uh, what'd you do this week, Rob?

00:23:29.600 Did you get anything exciting?

00:23:30.600 Um, just been editing some music videos.

00:23:34.680 Um, pretty much it.

00:23:37.980 And do you eat, what do you like to give you eat regular meals and everything, right?

00:23:42.580 Sometimes, I mean, I sometimes like skip breakfast or lunch cause I'm just too busy editing.

00:23:47.320 I'm too much in the zone or I'm just, you know, laying back watching TV.

00:23:51.460 Now I find, now this is one thing and I'll get into a little bit of racial discussion

00:23:56.200 here.

00:23:56.620 I find that Asian people are good.

00:23:58.240 They are very good at dropping into something and just staying in the pocket.

00:24:03.620 You go to some of these, you know, I've been to, uh, I've probably been in maybe seven Asian

00:24:08.800 countries or whatever.

00:24:09.920 And you'll go into some of these bank, these, uh, not, uh, buildings where there's just thousands

00:24:16.980 of, uh, Asian people playing video games until they die. 0.99

00:24:21.560 Some of them like, it's just the uncanny ability to drop into something and stay there.

00:24:29.040 I've honestly, I've haven't really thought about that for, I mean, for being from Asians.

00:24:40.880 I've never really thought, I mean, I think that's honestly just like, it could be anybody.

00:24:45.720 Um, I have a few friends that are like that and I mean, they're definitely not Asian. 1.00

00:24:49.320 They're, you know, they're white. 0.93

00:24:50.660 But would you be better than them?

00:24:52.200 Could you beat them if you guys were in a contest?

00:24:55.120 Honestly, it kind of depends.

00:24:56.300 Um, I'm not one of those, like those gamers, like those Asian gamers that you see that are 1.00

00:25:02.280 like, right there, right there, Asian gamers, right?

00:25:04.740 Exactly.

00:25:05.180 I'm not one of those guys.

00:25:06.480 I mean, are you a diehard Asian?

00:25:08.160 Would you say or not?

00:25:09.040 And this is, I'm pretty much the widest Asian you will meet.

00:25:13.940 Wow.

00:25:14.560 Yeah.

00:25:15.140 I mean, well, I mean, not in terms of my looks, but of my physical appearance, but like how

00:25:18.880 my mindset works.

00:25:20.060 I didn't know you were Asian.

00:25:21.420 Really?

00:25:21.900 Yeah.

00:25:22.540 Oh, well I am.

00:25:23.920 All right, let's take a call right here.

00:25:27.460 Hey, Theo, man.

00:25:28.460 It's Nathan from Nashville.

00:25:30.520 Now, it makes me really excited to hear that you might move down here.

00:25:34.100 And I just want to offer a perspective.

00:25:36.500 Thank you for calling, Nathan.

00:25:38.100 I appreciate that, brother.

00:25:39.180 It sounds like you're reading.

00:25:40.000 Does it sound like he's written this and is reading it?

00:25:41.940 Did you pick up on that, Riley?

00:25:43.380 Sounds like it, yeah.

00:25:45.060 Thank you.

00:25:45.500 About a year or so ago, I was kind of obsessed with moving to L.A. in my van with the idea

00:25:53.000 of laying it all on the line for my dream.

00:25:55.680 And maybe by doing this, God would, you know, buy the ticket to the dream at the price of

00:26:00.020 the ultimate sacrifice, you know.

00:26:02.160 But a lot of my mentors here said, they were like, dude, just slow down.

00:26:06.740 You're kind of where you need to be.

00:26:08.380 And I just want to let you know, man, like, Nashville's changing and growing.

00:26:12.660 And if you moved down here, you'd kind of be at the floor, the ground floor of a movement.

00:26:18.520 Well, first of all, thank you, man.

00:26:19.920 I appreciate this call, young fella.

00:26:22.020 And I'll say this, man.

00:26:23.080 Definitely, is getting a van and driving somewhere apart, is that laying it on the line?

00:26:31.440 I guess in a lot of ways it is.

00:26:34.640 You know, you definitely, you could easily get fleas.

00:26:37.900 You're probably going to at least have a pet at some point.

00:26:40.720 I don't trust the person that has the van, but not the pet that lives in it with them.

00:26:45.900 At least that guy, I feel like, is a little bit more non-murderer.

00:26:52.580 You know, because you can't murder, if you have a place, if you have a van,

00:26:57.300 you're not going to bring a person home and murder them with the animal right there.

00:27:02.660 Because then there's two degrees of what's going on.

00:27:05.240 There's you being murderer, and there's the animal watching.

00:27:12.180 You know, there's just, so when I see a man with a van with no animal,

00:27:20.540 now a bird doesn't count.

00:27:22.640 I'm talking dog.

00:27:24.760 A bird doesn't count.

00:27:26.280 A cat doesn't even count. 0.96

00:27:27.540 A cat is just a friggin' four-legged bird. 0.58

00:27:35.340 But when you get that animal, if you get a van with an animal, 0.95

00:27:40.440 that guy ain't murder. 1.00

00:27:41.640 You know, that guy will try to screw you probably or do sex with you 1.00

00:27:45.240 and make you a little grilled cheese or something. 1.00

00:27:47.900 And maybe have you listen to a little bit of widespread panic or something like that

00:27:52.100 and frickin', you know, he'll want you, you know, 0.99

00:27:55.300 he'll do some henna tattoos on one of your ass cheeks, 1.00

00:27:57.800 but he's not going to murder you. 1.00

00:28:00.800 But I feel like you get into a van that has no animal in it,

00:28:05.620 that's murder town right there.

00:28:10.640 What do you think, Riley?

00:28:12.480 You ever had any experience with anything like that?

00:28:14.200 I have not, honestly.

00:28:19.300 What else is going on, man?

00:28:20.960 I'll say this.

00:28:22.580 I appreciate the call.

00:28:24.720 I appreciate the call you calling and saying that good things are here,

00:28:28.100 things are happening.

00:28:29.140 Let's hear a little bit more of whatever you had to say, brother.

00:28:31.440 To give you an example,

00:28:32.740 my band is a psychedelic gospel funk group.

00:28:37.300 And oddly enough, we've been kind of welcomed and embraced.

00:28:40.640 And again, just things are moving and changing.

00:28:43.780 It's not just...

00:28:44.500 Well, yeah, but one way to get welcome and embrace it,

00:28:48.000 if your band does everything, you know?

00:28:50.820 We're a country, you know, we're country Zydeco, emo, drywall.

00:29:01.220 Can we play here?

00:29:02.140 And it's like, yeah, you know, sure you can.

00:29:04.380 You know, as long as you refinish the kitchen,

00:29:06.040 you can play wherever you want.

00:29:07.140 Like, if you have so many options to a band,

00:29:09.780 you know, if you're like,

00:29:12.360 oh, we do acoustic, acapella,

00:29:14.580 Jamaican,

00:29:17.000 sort of,

00:29:19.520 it's like kind of like a 6ix9ine Dixie Chicks mashup, 0.80

00:29:22.140 then people are like,

00:29:22.840 uh,

00:29:23.740 they can't say no.

00:29:25.520 So I think to challenge yourself,

00:29:30.040 brother,

00:29:30.280 try one type of music.

00:29:32.420 Because if you got that Christian disco funk, 1.00

00:29:35.300 trap house, 0.95

00:29:36.920 chopping screwed, 0.86

00:29:38.740 Paul Wall meets, 0.79

00:29:40.640 uh,

00:29:41.500 Paul Simon,

00:29:43.920 hell,

00:29:44.240 I don't even know what I'm,

00:29:44.860 at that point, 0.99

00:29:45.620 I might as well just damn, 0.99

00:29:47.240 you know, 1.00

00:29:48.300 drive my car into a damn Amoeba music. 1.00

00:29:50.580 Into an abandoned record shop. 0.99

00:29:54.300 But thank you for the sentiment of this call,

00:29:56.760 man.

00:29:57.800 And sentiment,

00:29:58.460 when you think of sentiment,

00:29:59.940 it's almost like cinnamon and mint.

00:30:02.200 Somebody put them together.

00:30:06.360 Let's hear the rest of this.

00:30:08.580 And oddly enough,

00:30:09.540 we've been kind of welcomed and embraced.

00:30:12.380 And, um,

00:30:13.460 again,

00:30:13.920 just things are moving and changing.

00:30:15.260 It's not just country,

00:30:16.480 right?

00:30:16.980 And Nashville might not be known for comedy,

00:30:19.100 but, man,

00:30:20.040 we could sure use a king down here.

00:30:21.980 And, you know,

00:30:22.880 music and comedy go together

00:30:24.860 like peanut butter and jelly,

00:30:25.980 my friend.

00:30:27.140 Well,

00:30:27.540 I appreciate it, man.

00:30:29.080 I appreciate it, man.

00:30:30.280 Music and comedy are interesting.

00:30:31.540 You know,

00:30:31.700 a lot of comedians

00:30:32.760 will end up getting into music.

00:30:37.140 Riley Mow,

00:30:37.760 do you know that?

00:30:39.100 I do now.

00:30:40.960 A lot of comedians

00:31:02.240 Uh,

00:31:03.040 you know,

00:31:04.500 he might've been Italian.

00:31:05.540 I don't know what he was,

00:31:06.180 but he also,

00:31:06.860 he did music.

00:31:15.520 And he was,

00:31:16.360 you know,

00:31:17.600 he definitely,

00:31:18.320 I mean,

00:31:18.420 he,

00:31:18.640 you know,

00:31:18.860 he barely,

00:31:19.300 he,

00:31:19.460 he seems like,

00:31:20.260 yeah,

00:31:21.020 you know,

00:31:21.320 he's kind of a rescue

00:31:22.180 kind of man.

00:31:23.000 He,

00:31:24.060 um,

00:31:25.220 a lot of,

00:31:25.700 a lot of comedians

00:31:26.340 get into music.

00:31:27.200 I think it's because

00:31:28.260 at a certain point,

00:31:29.020 sometimes you get,

00:31:30.600 I think it's why

00:31:31.360 anybody does anything

00:31:32.520 or changes it up.

00:31:34.380 You know,

00:31:34.880 your voice

00:31:35.440 and your,

00:31:36.680 your humor

00:31:37.620 become an instrument.

00:31:38.720 And then after a while,

00:31:39.520 you're like,

00:31:39.780 I want to,

00:31:40.140 I want to play

00:31:40.520 a different instrument.

00:31:44.060 You know,

00:31:44.620 I wish I could play

00:31:45.400 the piano.

00:31:48.160 I wish I,

00:31:48.900 you know,

00:31:49.420 because your voice

00:31:50.300 and your humor,

00:31:50.920 it's just a,

00:31:51.380 it's just the,

00:31:51.940 it's just an instrument

00:31:52.760 that's in you.

00:31:53.440 Some people's instrument

00:31:54.180 in them is,

00:31:54.840 is their voice.

00:31:55.900 You know,

00:31:56.380 to sing.

00:31:56.920 Some people is,

00:31:57.700 um,

00:31:59.280 you know,

00:31:59.940 uh,

00:32:01.340 do,

00:32:02.700 you know,

00:32:03.800 um,

00:32:05.280 speed,

00:32:05.760 you know,

00:32:07.120 deaf signaling.

00:32:08.960 You know,

00:32:09.440 what,

00:32:09.540 what is that called?

00:32:10.080 You know what I'm talking

00:32:10.480 about?

00:32:11.640 Really?

00:32:14.200 Hand,

00:32:14.800 hand gestures.

00:32:16.440 Um,

00:32:17.000 what's the name of it?

00:32:18.660 I think it's deaf signaling, 0.96

00:32:19.880 but,

00:32:20.200 but they have speed competitions

00:32:22.320 now for deaf signaling.

00:32:24.080 You know,

00:32:24.640 you'll see,

00:32:25.200 you know,

00:32:25.640 they'll,

00:32:26.900 four people are trying

00:32:27.780 to rattle off,

00:32:28.740 you know,

00:32:29.340 half of,

00:32:29.920 uh,

00:32:31.440 you know,

00:32:32.260 half of,

00:32:32.860 um,

00:32:34.000 you know,

00:32:35.000 flowers for Algernon

00:32:35.980 or something.

00:32:36.400 They're just reading it

00:32:37.000 as fast as they can

00:32:37.700 with their hands.

00:32:38.600 But everybody's has

00:32:39.440 a different,

00:32:39.760 you know,

00:32:40.480 people have a different,

00:32:41.680 playing a different instrument.

00:32:43.420 Some people may do

00:32:44.200 bow and arrowing.

00:32:46.760 And you just get,

00:32:47.520 sometimes you're tired

00:32:48.200 of your guitar,

00:32:48.940 you know,

00:32:49.860 I don't want to do,

00:32:50.800 you know,

00:32:51.080 I don't want to sing,

00:32:51.760 I want to try

00:32:52.060 something else.

00:32:53.220 I want to try something else.

00:32:55.480 So I think that's why

00:32:56.360 a lot of comedians

00:32:57.440 sometimes will get

00:32:57.960 into music eventually

00:32:58.840 because they want

00:33:01.320 to play something else

00:33:03.220 than the instrument

00:33:03.940 they've been playing,

00:33:05.120 which is their sense

00:33:06.580 of humor.

00:33:08.400 It's just a refined

00:33:09.580 instrument.

00:33:10.660 That's all it is.

00:33:11.520 It's just like singing,

00:33:12.940 but it's just a little

00:33:16.960 different.

00:33:17.780 I mean,

00:33:17.940 at least four times a day

00:33:19.940 I think about playing

00:33:20.560 the piano.

00:33:23.440 I just,

00:33:24.400 I'd like to play it.

00:33:30.660 So,

00:33:32.060 but,

00:33:33.520 but yeah,

00:33:34.280 thank you for the nice

00:33:34.920 call,

00:36:38.200 A lot of times,

00:36:40.100 jock itch is the byproduct

00:36:42.760 you know,

00:36:44.000 hair around your body parts, 0.99

00:36:46.620 your nuts and scrotum 0.96

00:36:59.740 good day tightened up,

00:37:04.500 the queen

00:37:04.980 and the baby

00:37:05.520 and whatever it's called.

00:37:10.280 where the guy never

00:37:11.320 sleeps or whatever.

00:37:13.320 And they keep walking

00:37:14.060 by the tomb

00:37:14.740 and then the guy,

00:38:47.940 you can't...

00:38:48.300 I mean,

00:38:49.800 you barely get a damn, 0.99

00:38:50.940 you know, 0.99

00:38:51.280 a quarter cup of hair,

00:38:53.340 probably.

00:38:56.020 with a damn sideburn 0.99

00:38:57.400 if you trim an Asian. 0.96

00:38:59.260 Mm-hmm.

00:39:00.140 So,

00:39:01.580 they're kind of like,

00:39:03.640 you know,

00:39:04.340 they just,

00:39:05.100 they're not hairy people.

00:39:07.480 Are they?

00:39:09.300 Are the Yokozunas hairy? 0.96

00:39:11.280 I don't think so.

00:39:12.200 So,

00:39:12.280 I have to look,

00:39:17.140 I'm about to

00:39:17.620 look that up, man.

00:39:21.580 We got another call

00:39:22.480 that came in, man.

00:39:23.400 Let's check it out

00:39:24.060 right here.

00:39:25.360 And this man

00:39:25.940 had some nice stuff

00:39:26.720 to say.

00:39:27.560 Onward.

00:39:30.060 What's up,

00:39:30.700 Mr. Vaughn, 1.00

00:39:31.520 you beautiful bastard. 1.00

00:39:33.780 Listening to the latest episode, 1.00

00:39:35.440 man,

00:39:35.760 here you're talking

00:39:36.300 about Nashville.

00:39:37.840 And if I know

00:39:39.160 anything about you,

00:39:40.000 I'd imagine

00:39:40.780 that you're

00:39:41.280 you're stressing

00:39:42.160 and overthinking it, bro.

00:39:43.540 But I think

00:39:44.900 you probably have

00:39:45.820 the core of your fans

00:39:47.080 is probably some

00:39:47.740 of the most loyal fans

00:39:49.400 in the industry.

00:39:50.880 I know that

00:39:51.460 I got nothing

00:39:52.460 but love for you, man.

00:39:53.880 I know that

00:39:54.700 a lot of others do, too.

00:39:56.140 It doesn't matter

00:39:56.720 where you go.

00:39:57.560 If it's Bangladesh 1.00

00:39:58.260 or Boston, bro,

00:39:59.980 we're all here for you.

00:40:01.220 It don't matter

00:40:01.900 where you go.

00:40:02.800 So,

00:40:03.380 know that.

00:40:04.120 Know that your fan base

00:40:05.560 is loyal.

00:40:06.020 We're going to follow you

00:40:06.640 everywhere.

00:40:07.580 And if you go to Nashville,

00:40:09.080 man,

00:40:09.260 you're a little closer

00:40:09.920 to me

00:40:10.380 in the Indy Louisville area.

00:40:12.800 So,

00:40:13.420 spread your wings, bro.

00:40:15.140 Discomfort

00:40:15.540 is where we get

00:40:16.800 our greatest achievement

00:40:17.680 at

00:40:18.080 is when we kind of

00:40:19.120 shake things up

00:40:19.840 a little bit.

00:40:20.580 So,

00:40:21.240 spread your wings,

00:40:22.460 little birdie.

00:40:23.200 Fly.

00:40:24.080 Much love, homie.

00:40:24.980 gang, bro.

00:40:28.760 Yeah, man.

00:40:29.540 You're right, man.

00:40:30.280 Leaning into the fear.

00:40:33.260 You know,

00:40:33.640 leaning into the fear, man.

00:40:35.040 You're really...

00:40:35.720 That's a really nice message, man.

00:40:37.300 I appreciate you saying that.

00:40:39.860 And...

00:40:40.020 Yeah, you know,

00:40:41.820 I'm really...

00:40:42.280 I am so lucky

00:40:43.400 to have people

00:40:44.760 that care,

00:40:45.520 you know.

00:40:46.700 And people remind me

00:40:47.980 all the time

00:40:48.440 constantly

00:40:48.960 through this podcast

00:40:49.860 and just nice people

00:40:52.220 that I met

00:40:52.960 and...

00:40:54.560 Yeah,

00:40:54.780 it never ends, man.

00:40:58.240 You know,

00:40:59.120 it...

00:41:00.160 Thanks, man.

00:41:01.660 That's nice of you to say, dude.

00:41:04.520 Yeah,

00:41:05.040 leaning into that discomfort.

00:41:08.440 What's over here?

00:41:09.480 It's so hard to sit sometimes

00:41:13.220 with you,

00:41:13.680 with your discomfort.

00:41:16.380 It's so hard to sit there

00:41:18.220 and hear the sounds

00:41:22.500 of your truth

00:41:23.400 or your truth

00:41:26.580 just echoing

00:41:27.480 to you.

00:41:34.840 Yes.

00:41:36.900 Thank you, man.

00:41:38.160 Thank you for that.

00:41:39.020 That's nice.

00:41:40.040 It's just...

00:41:40.840 It's a sweet message, man.

00:41:42.640 You know,

00:41:43.020 we have a lot of nice people

00:41:44.220 listening to this podcast.

00:41:45.920 Rally Mao.

00:41:59.540 All right.

00:42:04.020 Oh, I remember this, man.

00:42:05.540 You know,

00:42:05.920 Halloween is coming up.

00:42:07.140 And I remember that,

00:42:09.600 Rally,

00:42:09.820 I wanted to ask you

00:42:11.040 what you thought about that.

00:42:13.760 Do you guys practice that?

00:42:15.480 What is some of your experience

00:42:16.780 with that?

00:42:18.720 Honestly,

00:42:19.460 I don't have an opinion.

00:42:24.040 I don't, honestly.

00:42:26.900 All right.

00:42:28.420 Do you remember

00:42:29.140 ever being costumed

00:42:30.140 as a child?

00:42:30.840 Did anybody dress you up

00:42:32.000 and kind of trick you out

00:42:33.760 at different areas

00:42:34.460 for sugar?

00:42:35.140 You know what I'm talking about,

00:42:36.060 Halloween.

00:42:36.920 But you know what I'm talking about.

00:42:37.860 Yes.

00:42:38.220 Okay.

00:42:38.540 For sure.

00:42:39.440 But have you experienced it?

00:42:40.820 Did you,

00:42:41.120 were you costumed up?

00:42:44.080 What do you mean by that?

00:42:45.200 Did you dress up?

00:42:46.460 Yes.

00:42:47.020 Okay.

00:42:47.240 And what were some

00:42:48.420 of the outfits

00:42:49.020 or different styles

00:42:50.220 or something?

00:42:51.040 Oh, man.

00:42:52.240 Anything that really,

00:42:52.980 that kind of stands out

00:42:54.080 in your life

00:42:54.400 that you enjoyed?

00:42:55.180 I remember I was Spongebob.

00:42:56.700 Okay.

00:42:57.320 Spongebob was great.

00:42:58.780 I remember I was

00:42:59.740 a three-legged man

00:43:00.720 and no one could tell

00:43:01.540 which one was the right,

00:43:02.780 or was the fake leg.

00:43:04.240 Oh, yeah.

00:43:04.920 So that was pretty funny. 0.97

00:43:05.860 That's a dirty grandpa's trick 0.96

00:43:07.340 right there, too, 0.98

00:43:08.120 you know?

00:43:08.480 Yeah.

00:43:10.260 That sounds fun, though.

00:43:12.320 It was really fun.

00:43:13.380 I actually enjoyed it.

00:43:14.460 I always love Halloween.

00:43:15.380 I've been,

00:43:18.140 you've seen

00:43:18.500 The Blues Brothers, right?

00:43:19.680 Yes.

00:43:20.200 So I've been Elwood Blues.

00:43:21.500 Actually, no, I haven't.

00:43:22.420 I actually lied about that.

00:43:23.380 Yeah, I'm sorry.

00:43:24.000 You should watch it.

00:43:25.700 But yeah,

00:43:26.280 I used to be

00:43:27.220 Asian Elwood Blues.

00:43:29.760 Did you watch The Office?

00:43:31.760 Yes.

00:43:32.380 Okay.

00:43:32.720 Remember Asian Jim?

00:43:35.400 It was like one

00:43:35.900 of the later episodes

00:43:36.860 or one of the later seasons.

00:43:37.680 I didn't watch all of it yet.

00:43:38.680 I'm on season one.

00:43:40.300 Oh, gotcha.

00:43:40.980 Okay.

00:43:41.280 Well, it's fantastic.

00:43:42.460 There was one episode

00:43:43.460 where he

00:43:44.380 where Jim

00:43:46.540 tried to trick

00:43:47.440 Dwight

00:43:48.780 and like

00:43:50.280 have like an Asian Jim 0.64

00:43:51.760 and trying to trick

00:43:53.500 Dwight into being like,

00:43:55.140 no,

00:43:55.640 like that's really me.

00:43:56.840 I've been here

00:43:57.480 the whole time.

00:43:59.020 So I was Asian Jim.

00:44:00.580 Oh, I like that.

00:44:01.820 I met Jim one night

00:44:03.000 at a club one time.

00:44:04.080 Really?

00:44:04.580 At a,

00:44:05.040 like, yeah.

00:44:06.180 And he was drinking

00:44:06.860 and chasing women, 1.00

00:44:07.840 I remember.

00:44:08.660 And really hard up

00:44:09.440 for a little bit of cooch,

00:44:10.420 man, at the time.

00:44:11.200 So was I.

00:44:11.780 And I could see

00:44:13.220 in his eyes

00:44:13.760 just something

00:44:14.300 that I saw in myself,

00:44:15.620 you know,

00:44:15.980 and

00:44:16.160 yeah,

00:44:21.940 I just,

00:44:23.020 I just remember that.

00:44:24.860 But,

00:44:25.120 yeah,

00:44:26.640 I remember Halloween

00:44:27.340 was so big

00:44:28.220 when we were young,

00:44:29.080 man.

00:44:29.720 Mom would get us

00:44:30.560 out there.

00:44:32.600 And man,

00:44:33.360 we would sometimes,

00:44:34.420 you know,

00:44:34.760 like,

00:44:35.040 I remember my sister

00:44:37.300 was in like a cast

00:44:38.420 or something

00:44:38.820 one time for something.

00:44:40.440 She'd lost a battle

00:44:41.600 with a,

00:44:42.060 you know,

00:44:42.260 some ants or something

00:44:43.360 or,

00:44:43.780 you know,

00:44:44.600 you know,

00:44:45.720 she'd try to get artsy 0.97

00:44:46.900 with a group of wasps

00:44:48.520 and came in second place,

00:44:50.940 you know.

00:44:51.680 And,

00:44:52.060 and so she was in one

00:44:54.440 of those kind of

00:44:55.000 full body soft cast

00:44:56.500 where they really just

00:44:57.440 trying to get that

00:44:58.060 aloe vera on you.

00:44:59.520 Where they kind of,

00:45:00.380 they almost have to

00:45:01.080 embalm,

00:45:01.700 you know,

00:45:01.880 like a mummify you 0.65

00:45:04.020 with aloe vera strips

00:45:05.240 of lotion and,

00:45:06.300 you know,

00:45:07.720 and wax paper

00:45:08.480 or whatever.

00:45:09.040 But,

00:45:09.800 I remember we took her

00:45:12.760 around one time.

00:45:13.860 We had to take her

00:45:14.340 in like a little wheelbarrow

00:45:15.340 to go get the candy.

00:45:18.640 We were,

00:45:19.460 one time we tried

00:45:20.140 to be light.

00:45:20.940 We thought light

00:45:21.720 was like the really

00:45:22.520 bright white thing.

00:45:23.860 So we covered our bodies

00:45:24.900 with flour

00:45:26.680 and went door to door

00:45:28.980 like that.

00:45:31.880 my brother went

00:45:33.200 through a phase

00:45:33.940 kind of like a,

00:45:34.820 he would take a mirror

00:45:36.480 and he would like

00:45:37.760 wheel it up to their door

00:45:38.980 and,

00:45:41.020 and they'd be like,

00:45:41.700 what are you,

00:45:42.100 what are you,

00:45:42.680 you know,

00:45:42.940 he'd be like,

00:45:43.480 you don't want to look

00:45:44.140 at who you really are.

00:45:45.500 You know,

00:45:45.720 he was like a,

00:45:47.220 he was just going

00:45:48.140 through a phase,

00:45:48.880 you know.

00:45:50.400 You know,

00:45:50.820 I'm the scariest thing,

00:45:52.040 you know,

00:45:52.360 yourself,

00:45:53.420 you know,

00:45:53.760 your truth.

00:45:55.500 Like that kind of,

00:45:56.720 kind of Edgar Allen Poe, 1.00

00:45:58.320 kind of Benjamin Franklin shit. 0.99

00:45:59.720 but God, 0.99

00:46:02.480 I remember it though.

00:46:04.300 I remember

00:46:05.240 just going door to door

00:46:07.920 and there was always

00:46:09.640 a lot of pedophiles out.

00:46:12.360 There was always 0.75

00:46:13.140 a lot of pedophiles 0.56

00:46:14.160 out living their life 0.90

00:46:15.260 and doing their thing

00:46:16.280 and that was there,

00:46:17.620 you'd see them out

00:46:18.520 with no kids.

00:46:22.780 You know, 0.99

00:46:23.400 dressed up like a pedophile. 0.98

00:46:25.840 You're like, 1.00

00:46:26.460 oh,

00:46:26.720 this is,

00:46:27.220 this is interesting.

00:46:30.780 So,

00:46:32.060 but yeah,

00:46:34.260 man,

00:46:34.460 leaning into the fear.

00:46:35.820 I'm going to lean

00:46:36.240 into the fear,

00:46:36.960 man,

00:46:37.100 and lean into the uncomfort.

00:46:39.320 You know,

00:46:39.700 I didn't even know about,

00:46:40.840 you know,

00:46:41.180 having Riley back,

00:46:42.260 what it was like

00:46:43.040 and what,

00:46:43.620 you know,

00:46:44.040 we're,

00:46:44.480 you know,

00:46:44.880 just figuring this all out

00:46:46.380 and,

00:46:47.400 and,

00:46:48.540 you know,

00:46:49.660 even last week

00:46:50.260 we kind of talked

00:46:50.860 at the end of the episode

00:46:51.740 about,

00:46:53.120 you know,

00:46:54.020 I just like,

00:46:54.560 I'm trying something new.

00:46:55.860 It's hard to try

00:46:57.900 new things sometimes.

00:47:00.380 Why does comfort feel so,

00:47:04.940 man,

00:47:05.360 it's weird because comfort,

00:47:06.580 it's a good thing,

00:47:07.380 right?

00:47:07.660 It's a positive word.

00:47:09.000 It's a positive feeling

00:47:10.040 but it's such a,

00:47:14.020 too much of it is,

00:47:16.640 is,

00:47:17.060 you know,

00:47:17.560 it's,

00:47:18.820 it can be a hampering.

00:47:21.800 This is,

00:47:22.320 you know what I'm saying,

00:47:23.140 Riley?

00:47:23.660 No,

00:47:23.940 exactly.

00:47:24.300 I totally get what you're saying.

00:47:26.180 Have you been uncomfortable

00:47:27.180 in your life before?

00:47:28.420 Oh,

00:47:28.660 many times,

00:47:29.780 for sure.

00:47:30.600 Whether it's,

00:47:31.620 you know,

00:47:31.840 just being on stage

00:47:33.240 during one of my band performances.

00:47:36.800 Oh,

00:47:36.920 you were in a band?

00:47:37.640 Oh,

00:47:37.860 yeah.

00:47:38.140 Oh,

00:47:38.360 I didn't know that.

00:47:38.780 I was in,

00:47:40.020 you were in band?

00:47:41.360 Right,

00:47:41.600 yeah,

00:47:41.740 I was in a marching band,

00:47:43.260 concert band,

00:47:44.420 jazz band,

00:47:45.980 pep bands. 1.00

00:47:47.320 Damn. 1.00

00:47:48.300 Yeah, 0.99

00:47:48.820 I love being in band.

00:47:50.120 And what's the heaviest instrument

00:47:51.180 you could carry,

00:47:51.840 you think?

00:47:53.160 I,

00:47:53.560 I actually,

00:47:54.300 I think the heaviest one was,

00:47:55.600 I was,

00:47:56.480 I remember,

00:47:57.200 I was in drum line,

00:47:58.120 and I was carrying the,

00:47:59.500 you know,

00:48:00.680 the quads,

00:48:01.520 the,

00:48:01.860 like the,

00:48:03.280 the,

00:48:03.880 Oh yeah,

00:48:04.200 four drums.

00:48:04.940 Right,

00:48:05.260 the four or five drums.

00:48:06.660 Yeah,

00:48:06.960 I carried that,

00:48:07.640 that was really heavy.

00:48:08.360 Then again,

00:48:09.120 like,

00:48:09.480 right now,

00:48:09.900 I'm 5'5".

00:48:10.600 I was like,

00:48:11.400 maybe 4'11",

00:48:14.780 or something,

00:48:15.520 or like five feet,

00:48:16.580 and it was,

00:48:17.600 it was tough.

00:48:18.460 I'd smoke a blunt to that,

00:48:19.720 man,

00:48:19.900 watching a little,

00:48:21.340 you know,

00:48:21.940 a smaller,

00:48:22.660 unique person of color

00:48:24.140 kind of carry a drum set,

00:48:25.620 dog.

00:48:26.140 Right.

00:48:26.620 I'd get high out of that.

00:48:27.760 I mean,

00:48:28.000 I was the only Asian,

00:48:29.040 I was the smallest guy on the team.

00:48:31.400 I,

00:48:31.600 it was,

00:48:32.440 it was tough,

00:48:33.180 but I did it.

00:48:33.880 You were fierce almost,

00:48:34.860 really.

00:48:35.540 Right.

00:48:35.980 And it was actually kind of

00:48:37.720 too heavy to the point

00:48:38.560 where I actually had to move

00:48:39.480 to a different instrument.

00:48:40.840 So I went on the smallest

00:48:42.260 bass drum there was.

00:48:43.200 You know how there was like,

00:48:44.460 there was like different size

00:48:45.300 bass drums and drum line.

00:48:46.540 I was the smallest bass drum.

00:48:48.180 Oh wow,

00:48:48.600 that beautiful little baby bass,

00:48:50.020 huh?

00:48:50.220 Exactly. 1.00

00:48:50.900 Damn. 1.00

00:48:51.560 And could you hit it pretty hard 1.00

00:48:52.520 with the sticks?

00:48:53.060 How many sticks did you get?

00:48:54.200 Two.

00:48:54.880 One on each side.

00:48:56.140 Oh hell yeah.

00:48:57.560 Yeah,

00:48:57.960 yeah,

00:48:58.140 yeah.

00:48:58.360 Yeah.

00:48:58.440 Yeah.

00:48:58.580 Cause we had a guy in ours

00:48:59.780 that only got one stick,

00:49:01.320 I remember.

00:49:02.160 Really?

00:49:02.460 Yeah.

00:49:02.740 Cause the band was barely funded.

00:49:05.040 The band was basically

00:49:06.460 stuff they made in wood shop

00:49:08.140 that would make a sound. 0.75

00:49:11.500 So you'd have five or six dudes.

00:49:13.540 We had this real,

00:49:14.960 this kid named Brian,

00:49:16.280 St.

00:49:16.620 Pierre out there

00:49:17.400 and he was really like

00:49:18.220 the first kind of black white kid ever.

00:49:20.200 The first white kid ever 0.99

00:49:21.080 to act like a black kid 0.99

00:49:22.220 and they'd never seen it before. 0.88

00:49:24.120 And so he was in mentally handicapped 0.99

00:49:26.040 courses and everything.

00:49:27.060 But he,

00:49:28.060 they gave him half a drum.

00:49:32.440 You know,

00:49:33.080 and he'd get,

00:49:33.800 he'd get halfway through a song

00:49:36.020 and he'd be fist fighting somebody

00:49:37.340 at the concession stand 1.00

00:49:38.440 for a damn airhead or something. 1.00

00:49:40.380 That kid was really 1.00

00:49:42.140 real POS,

00:49:44.800 POS man.

00:49:46.280 Real POS.

00:51:06.040 Raleigh Mal.

00:51:08.100 I've haven't.

00:51:09.500 I mean,

00:51:10.600 I love going fishing.

00:51:11.980 I am super bad at it.

00:51:14.760 I haven't done it as much.

00:51:16.240 I did it when I was

00:51:17.680 in scouts.

00:51:19.240 That's when I would always fish

00:51:20.560 with a few of my friends,

00:51:21.980 fellow scouts.

00:51:23.920 And do you guys have like a

00:51:25.280 no man left behind kind of

00:51:26.920 thing like that?

00:51:27.620 Like,

00:51:27.800 what is their,

00:51:28.700 what's the mantra?

00:51:30.560 Yeah.

00:51:31.740 Yeah,

00:51:32.100 man,

00:51:32.500 we are always like,

00:51:34.440 we leave no man behind.

00:51:35.960 We leave no trace behind.

00:51:39.040 That was actually,

00:51:39.440 well,

00:51:40.240 yeah,

00:51:40.380 that was actually our thing.

00:51:41.960 Our scout motto,

00:51:43.460 not our motto.

00:51:44.380 I forgot what it was called.

00:51:45.400 One of our sayings,

00:51:46.560 leave no trace behind.

00:51:49.280 And our scout slogan,

00:51:50.280 that's what it is.

00:51:50.900 And that basically means like,

00:51:52.680 we leave no trash.

00:51:53.440 We leave everything better

00:51:54.480 than how we found it.

00:51:55.360 It's like,

00:51:55.700 if we're at a campsite,

00:51:57.120 you know,

00:51:57.360 if there's a few,

00:51:58.880 you know,

00:51:59.240 pieces of plastic on the ground,

00:52:00.720 you know,

00:52:00.860 we'd pick it up,

00:52:02.040 throw it out on the way out,

00:52:03.520 leave it better than how we found it.

00:52:05.560 Wow.

00:52:07.660 Amen,

00:52:08.180 man.

00:52:09.820 Yeah,

00:52:10.200 thank you for the fishing offer.

00:52:12.080 You know,

00:52:12.340 that's a nice,

00:52:13.120 that's really nice,

00:52:14.020 man.

00:52:14.080 And I will hit you up

00:52:14.960 and I will come fish.

00:52:17.080 You know,

00:52:17.300 I appreciate that.

00:52:18.680 That'll make me feel more,

00:52:20.100 you know,

00:52:20.460 at home here.

00:52:22.160 And getting into the MMA

00:52:23.220 has made me feel more home.

00:52:25.280 You know,

00:52:25.520 just going in,

00:52:26.260 just keep going back,

00:52:27.280 even though it's like,

00:52:27.940 yeah,

00:52:28.080 I go in and some of the people

00:52:29.940 recognize me and say,

00:52:31.440 you know,

00:52:31.680 or they're super friendly,

00:52:33.020 but it also makes you feel

00:52:33.980 a little uncomfortable

00:52:34.760 when people,

00:52:36.420 not that they're trying to make you

00:52:37.640 feel uncomfortable,

00:52:38.360 it just,

00:52:40.340 there's just a different,

00:52:41.520 it's like,

00:52:42.480 it's cool,

00:52:43.900 but it's also,

00:52:44.820 it's like,

00:52:45.080 okay,

00:52:45.460 you know,

00:52:45.820 I want to take the class.

00:52:47.400 I want to be,

00:52:48.360 when you,

00:52:49.660 I start thinking that they think

00:52:51.300 differently of me

00:52:52.160 and so then I start,

00:52:53.880 it's just in my head,

00:52:55.320 you know.

00:52:56.720 So anyway,

00:52:57.560 all they've been

00:52:58.720 is really welcoming

00:52:59.540 and yeah,

00:53:01.820 just starting to feel

00:53:02.480 a little bit more confident

00:53:03.500 about,

00:53:05.460 like when I was young,

00:53:06.920 I was just so,

00:53:07.600 I just didn't have any confidence,

00:53:09.060 man.

00:53:10.320 You know,

00:53:10.640 I just didn't have any,

00:53:11.800 man.

00:53:12.020 Who got you into taekwondo,

00:53:13.980 Raleigh?

00:53:15.880 Um,

00:53:16.420 I've,

00:53:17.220 I actually kind of wanted

00:53:18.200 to do it myself.

00:53:19.560 I just wanted to learn martial arts.

00:53:21.060 Self-starter,

00:53:21.780 they call it.

00:53:22.280 Right.

00:53:22.980 And I,

00:53:23.580 I just wanted to,

00:53:25.600 from the very beginning,

00:53:26.480 I've always wanted to earn black belt.

00:53:28.220 That's the same thing with scouts.

00:53:29.300 From the very beginning,

00:53:30.500 joining Cub Scouts,

00:53:31.600 I've always wanted to become an Eagle Scout.

00:53:33.340 That was like my thing

00:53:34.120 and I had to make it.

00:53:35.760 Um,

00:53:36.360 so I did the same exact thing

00:53:37.420 for,

00:53:37.800 um,

00:53:38.320 taekwondo.

00:53:38.920 Praise God.

00:53:39.600 I loved it.

00:53:40.340 I'm glad I did.

00:53:41.780 You know,

00:53:42.160 there's something real powerful

00:53:43.020 about having,

00:53:44.600 self-control is real powerful.

00:53:46.520 Right.

00:53:47.040 You know,

00:53:47.380 because I'm the other end of that

00:53:48.680 where I've struggled with,

00:53:50.900 oh,

00:53:51.920 Jesus Christ.

00:53:52.840 I've struggled.

00:53:53.440 Sorry.

00:53:55.040 Sorry.

00:53:56.820 Um,

00:53:57.560 I've just struggled.

00:53:58.980 I've struggled with it.

00:54:00.240 You know,

00:54:00.900 I'm short of the,

00:54:01.660 you know, 0.99

00:54:01.940 so doing masturbation 0.98

00:54:04.540 and that kind of stuff. 0.99

00:54:05.740 I really struggle with that.

00:54:08.020 You know,

00:54:08.580 it's hard.

00:54:09.760 It's hard to do it,

00:54:10.860 man.

00:54:11.640 It's hard to not do it.

00:54:12.900 That's what I mean.

00:54:14.340 So,

00:54:14.780 um,

00:56:03.740 Theo.

00:56:04.840 You know,

00:56:05.500 I was,

00:56:05.840 my fingers are hurting from,

00:56:07.700 I think,

00:56:08.000 becoming a man.

00:56:08.940 That's what I'm feeling like.

00:56:09.880 And I know that sounds crazy,

00:56:15.180 but

00:56:15.500 you know,

00:56:19.100 I think I've been to four of these,

00:56:20.960 you know,

00:56:23.560 I'm doing MMA.

00:56:25.520 And so I've been to four classes now.

00:56:27.960 And

00:56:28.480 I know,

00:56:29.200 look,

00:56:29.340 I'm not saying that I know anything.

00:56:31.160 I know absolutely nothing.

00:56:34.620 But I just,

00:56:36.500 I don't know,

00:56:38.700 it's weird.

00:56:39.360 My hands always feel like I don't know what to do with them.

00:56:44.080 And then suddenly,

00:56:46.020 just a little,

00:56:47.460 my hands feel like

00:56:48.580 a little bit more like they're going to be okay.

00:56:55.740 That's all.

00:56:56.520 That's the only little thing I just start to notice that

00:56:59.140 my hands will,

00:57:02.460 they'll be okay.

00:57:05.240 Like,

00:57:05.760 I can't explain it.

00:57:08.520 It's just,

00:57:08.860 they feel a little more confident.

00:57:11.360 That don't mean try me.

00:57:12.700 I don't want somebody to,

00:57:13.680 you know,

00:57:13.880 come at me or hit me with a sword 1.00

00:57:15.580 or shoot me or nothing or, 1.00

00:57:17.300 you know, 1.00

00:57:17.780 do something,

00:57:18.480 you know,

00:57:19.640 do anything.

00:57:20.720 But

00:57:20.880 yeah,

00:57:22.040 it just feels interesting.

00:57:26.800 But that's what they feel.

00:57:28.060 It's the same feeling

00:57:28.760 if you've been practicing a guitar

00:57:30.180 and you get those things on your

00:57:32.000 fingers.

00:57:34.700 What are they called,

00:57:35.140 Raleigh?

00:57:35.340 Do you know?

00:57:37.340 Calluses?

00:57:38.180 Yes.

00:57:39.680 It's just like that.

00:57:44.660 Oh,

00:57:45.460 right.

00:57:47.880 I remember one year

00:57:49.060 we got into some racial stuff

00:57:50.700 at Halloween.

00:57:51.260 my dad had gotten

00:57:53.180 some cinnamon sticks.

00:57:55.780 You know,

00:57:56.240 when somebody,

00:57:56.800 I think maybe like a Cuban person

00:57:58.280 or something

00:57:58.700 had left them somewhere.

00:57:59.900 I don't know.

00:58:00.380 Someone got them.

00:58:01.080 He got them.

00:58:03.100 But,

00:58:03.540 or he might have got them.

00:58:04.800 My dad used to go to South America

00:58:06.140 a lot and do some stuff.

00:58:07.340 I don't know what he was doing.

00:58:08.240 He might have been

00:58:08.760 probably running around

00:58:09.900 on my mind,

00:58:10.400 but I don't know.

00:58:10.940 I was,

00:58:11.500 you know,

00:58:11.900 I was a child.

00:58:12.560 anyway,

00:58:18.180 so we were all excited

00:58:19.440 with the cinnamon sticks.

00:58:20.340 So we were like,

00:58:20.860 oh,

00:58:21.020 let's go,

00:58:21.940 let's do Halloweening

00:58:23.140 as cinnamon,

00:58:24.040 cinnamon sticks,

00:58:24.880 family.

00:58:26.920 And so we got everybody

00:58:28.280 out there,

00:58:28.960 dude.

00:58:29.220 And this is back

00:58:29.940 when you could do something

00:58:31.220 darker

00:58:32.460 without getting raced out.

00:58:36.160 You know,

00:58:36.800 nowadays,

00:58:37.240 I've jumped in some yellow paint

00:58:38.920 and run out there

00:58:39.840 and people say,

00:58:41.300 oh,

00:58:41.400 you're,

00:58:41.740 you're being hateful. 0.93

00:58:43.440 to Asian people. 0.95

00:58:44.520 I jump in red paint.

00:58:45.500 They say,

00:58:45.860 oh,

00:58:45.900 you're being hateful

00:58:46.580 to Native Americans.

00:58:47.540 I jump in,

00:58:48.740 you know,

00:58:49.180 I try to do a little bit

00:58:49.980 of cinnamon sticking

00:58:50.740 as a family

00:58:51.420 and they say,

00:58:51.960 oh,

00:58:52.040 you're being hateful. 0.70

00:58:53.260 You know, 1.00

00:58:53.560 you're being black, 1.00

00:58:54.580 hateful to blacks, 1.00

00:58:56.060 black people 1.00

00:58:56.580 or black culture. 0.94

00:58:58.980 And by back then,

00:58:59.700 nobody,

00:59:00.080 it wasn't like that.

00:59:01.860 People were,

00:59:02.500 you could be a cinnamon stick

00:59:03.680 at Halloween.

00:59:06.480 You know,

00:59:07.020 and I remember a day

00:59:08.260 when in America

00:59:09.040 you could be

00:59:09.880 a cinnamon stick

00:59:11.160 at Halloween

00:59:12.460 and not get called out

00:59:15.140 for racial injustice.

00:59:18.120 People were like,

00:59:18.920 you hate, 0.55

00:59:20.380 you hate, 0.55

00:59:20.720 are you being hateful?

00:59:21.840 Like,

00:59:22.180 I'm being cinnamon.

00:59:24.660 That's all I'm being.

00:59:27.620 And every cinnamon,

00:59:28.920 everybody loves cinnamon.

00:59:31.560 You know,

00:59:32.140 and I long for a day like that

00:59:33.800 in this country again.

00:59:35.820 You know,

00:59:39.300 I really long for a day like that.

00:59:44.980 Um,

00:59:45.620 but the disease,

00:59:47.180 I feel like,

00:59:47.500 is lightening up.

00:59:48.440 I feel like people are,

00:59:49.820 I don't know what's going on.

00:59:52.940 You know,

00:59:53.500 I don't know.

00:59:53.920 I feel like with the disease,

00:59:56.800 Corvid,

00:59:58.260 or lung AIDS,

01:00:00.900 some people call it,

01:00:01.820 I can't,

01:00:06.460 I am,

01:00:07.040 I'll just,

01:00:07.540 I am shocked

01:00:08.540 that we

01:00:09.120 shut down the world,

01:00:11.060 but we didn't really know

01:00:11.860 what to do,

01:00:12.460 I think.

01:00:15.520 We didn't really know.

01:00:16.860 There's no,

01:00:18.020 people can,

01:00:19.060 you can't Monday morning

01:00:20.340 quarterback a pandemic.

01:00:23.540 But I feel like

01:00:24.420 we should have let,

01:00:25.620 it seems like,

01:00:28.660 people that are highly susceptible,

01:00:30.400 should have been given

01:00:33.080 maybe a government stipend,

01:00:34.440 give them something,

01:00:35.300 help them get,

01:00:36.580 stay safe,

01:00:38.320 and let the rest of the world operate.

01:00:42.440 That's what I feel like

01:00:43.400 we should have tried to do.

01:00:46.320 But one thing about being

01:00:47.520 a free country is,

01:00:49.480 sometimes you,

01:00:50.680 everybody has their,

01:00:51.640 everybody wants to do

01:00:52.260 their own thing.

01:00:54.600 And they can.

01:00:56.800 You know,

01:00:58.380 they can.

01:01:00.400 All right,

01:01:01.660 let's take one or two more calls.

01:01:03.580 Here we go.

01:01:05.940 Hey, Theo.

01:01:07.300 This is Mike Jenner calling.

01:01:10.400 Just wanted to say,

01:01:12.160 hey, man,

01:01:12.660 thanks for

01:01:13.360 all you do.

01:01:16.140 I'm a recovering addict,

01:01:17.900 two years sober,

01:01:18.880 over two years sober.

01:01:20.240 Gang, man,

01:01:20.980 congratulations, Mike.

01:01:23.220 Two years,

01:01:25.400 maybe them Spanish years,

01:01:26.600 daddy,

01:01:26.880 you got them.

01:01:27.400 off of that method,

01:01:30.320 methamphetamines,

01:01:31.240 ugh, 1.00

01:01:31.780 crazy shit. 1.00

01:01:33.580 Mm. 1.00

01:01:34.760 I never did any meth,

01:01:36.260 man.

01:01:38.580 You know,

01:01:39.080 I always wanted to smoke crack,

01:01:40.280 honestly.

01:01:42.400 I never did

01:01:43.900 smoke any crack,

01:01:45.400 and I always

01:01:46.340 wanted to.

01:01:51.340 To know what it was like.

01:01:52.720 Have you had a high drug experience,

01:01:56.020 Raleigh?

01:01:57.340 I've not.

01:01:58.200 You will know me

01:01:59.780 as the most innocent man.

01:02:01.520 I mean,

01:02:01.780 you know,

01:02:02.000 I'm a Christian Eagle Scout,

01:02:03.240 so I'm like the most innocent guy

01:02:04.960 that you will probably ever meet.

01:02:06.980 What's the highest stimulant

01:02:08.040 you've been on?

01:02:08.780 What's something heavy

01:02:09.380 you've been on?

01:02:09.860 I want to say

01:02:12.200 the highest thing

01:02:12.860 would probably be

01:02:14.020 when I got my wisdom teeth

01:02:15.160 pulled out.

01:02:17.180 Other than that,

01:02:18.180 I mean.

01:02:18.840 What were you on,

01:02:19.540 brother?

01:02:21.260 On that gas?

01:02:22.200 What'd they have you on?

01:02:23.420 It was.

01:02:23.900 They gassed you out?

01:02:25.100 Yes.

01:02:25.520 Oh,

01:02:25.840 hell yeah.

01:02:26.380 Yeah,

01:02:26.620 it was.

01:02:27.840 That's crazy,

01:02:28.760 dude.

01:02:28.880 There's videos of that

01:02:29.780 where you can watch

01:02:30.380 Asian people getting gassed out.

01:02:32.020 It's like a,

01:02:32.860 because a lot of Asian people

01:02:33.760 do,

01:02:34.100 sorry,

01:02:34.720 I'm generalizing.

01:02:35.760 In,

01:02:36.120 there's a lot of unique

01:02:37.400 Japanese videos

01:02:38.420 where they do different

01:02:39.620 artistic stuff

01:02:40.680 with laughing gas. 0.95

01:02:41.820 Have you seen any of that?

01:02:42.680 I have.

01:02:43.200 Yes.

01:02:44.600 But,

01:02:45.140 see,

01:02:45.340 I'm not,

01:02:46.600 I remember when I got my wisdom,

01:02:47.960 you know how wisdom,

01:02:48.980 or people who get their wisdom teeth

01:02:50.100 pulled out,

01:02:50.660 and they're like

01:02:51.180 slowly waking up afterwards.

01:02:53.320 They're like,

01:02:53.760 you know,

01:02:54.000 they do funny stuff all the time.

01:02:56.400 That wasn't me.

01:02:57.600 I remember that,

01:02:58.520 like my arm,

01:02:59.480 like my arms were up on the seat,

01:03:01.960 but,

01:03:02.840 and I have pictures.

01:03:04.180 My mom took pictures of me

01:03:05.420 from being like that.

01:03:06.520 It was funny.

01:03:07.000 But other than that,

01:03:07.680 I didn't really do anything funny.

01:03:08.960 Like,

01:03:09.120 I was conscious enough to know,

01:03:11.040 like,

01:03:11.740 like,

01:03:12.200 I saw,

01:03:12.820 I still remember seeing the camera on me.

01:03:14.640 I'm like,

01:03:15.080 put that away.

01:03:16.000 No.

01:03:16.700 Yeah.

01:03:17.040 I mean,

01:03:17.260 other than that,

01:03:17.700 I didn't really do anything too funny.

01:03:20.800 It was an,

01:03:21.480 it was an interesting experience,

01:03:23.140 I gotta say.

01:03:23.720 Hell yeah,

01:03:24.400 man.

01:03:25.900 Yeah,

01:03:26.260 look,

01:03:26.560 man,

01:03:26.780 getting gassed out,

01:03:27.820 and doing that,

01:03:28.760 and getting your teeth pulled out, 0.71

01:03:30.600 that's a,

01:03:30.980 that's the only thing.

01:03:32.440 See,

01:03:32.860 if every time people got high,

01:03:34.400 they had to pull their teeth out, 0.98

01:03:35.700 that should be the rule.

01:03:36.580 People want to do crack,

01:03:38.740 you want to do a little bit of math and vitamins.

01:03:41.620 Then they rip a molar. 0.74

01:03:43.760 They frickin', 0.91

01:03:45.140 take an incisor out. 0.85

01:03:46.660 Every time you do,

01:03:47.680 every time you,

01:03:48.500 you know,

01:03:49.080 get gassed up,

01:03:51.820 you know,

01:03:52.140 or get blotched out on some Percocets,

01:03:54.200 they pull another tooth.

01:03:55.560 And once you're toothless,

01:03:57.760 no more drugs for you.

01:04:00.860 That's how it should be done.

01:04:06.060 Would you throw out a couple more teeth to get one,

01:04:08.700 you know,

01:04:08.960 to go another round,

01:04:09.920 do you think?

01:04:11.020 Well,

01:04:11.780 that,

01:04:12.780 I'm currently getting an implant put in,

01:04:14.800 and,

01:04:15.280 Hell yeah,

01:04:15.840 boy.

01:04:16.120 And I had to,

01:04:17.720 basically,

01:04:18.400 there was this one,

01:04:19.880 this one oral surgeon,

01:04:22.400 he,

01:04:23.640 there was like this tooth that wouldn't come down,

01:04:25.500 so he was trying to pull it down.

01:04:27.180 That took about a year,

01:04:28.940 and it didn't come down.

01:04:30.980 So I went to a different orthodontist,

01:04:32.400 and he was like,

01:04:32.860 no,

01:04:33.020 no,

01:04:33.100 no,

01:04:33.180 I was supposed to go over,

01:04:34.160 then down.

01:04:35.100 So then,

01:04:36.220 we were like,

01:04:36.640 okay,

01:04:36.880 so we wasted a whole year going down.

01:04:38.240 So we tried going over and down,

01:04:40.160 but that wouldn't work after a year later,

01:04:41.940 because of the first guy that was trying to pull it down.

01:04:44.540 So then they had to end up taking it out,

01:04:46.060 and it was like a shark tooth,

01:04:47.700 it was really curved,

01:04:48.540 it was really weird.

01:04:50.260 So then,

01:04:50.900 yeah,

01:04:51.060 so I got it taken out.

01:04:52.220 Dorsal.

01:04:52.900 Exactly.

01:04:53.640 I got it taken out,

01:04:54.840 and then,

01:04:55.460 now I'm trying to,

01:04:56.180 it's like,

01:04:56.660 I think year five or something,

01:04:58.600 it was something crazy,

01:04:59.840 like it's been since high school.

01:05:01.220 Praise God,

01:05:01.780 trying to get one tooth out of you.

01:05:03.100 Yep.

01:05:03.600 And so now,

01:05:04.960 we are trying to get,

01:05:06.440 or I'm trying to get an implant of where it's,

01:05:08.400 I think,

01:05:09.300 so the space is,

01:05:10.880 it was too big for two teeth,

01:05:13.040 but too small for three teeth.

01:05:15.060 So I think we're just going to do three small teeth going in.

01:05:17.740 Oh,

01:05:18.020 wow.

01:05:18.800 So it's going to be interesting for sure.

01:05:20.860 Three small teeth,

01:05:21.920 man.

01:05:22.260 It's been years of doing this,

01:05:25.820 but it's almost done.

01:05:28.080 Hey,

01:05:28.840 everybody's got their Vietnam,

01:05:30.200 baby.

01:05:30.380 You know,

01:05:30.920 that's the wild thing,

01:05:31.880 man.

01:05:32.080 Let's finish this call up right here.

01:05:33.420 Uh,

01:05:33.940 but hey man,

01:05:35.540 I just wanted to say,

01:05:36.880 uh, 1.00

01:05:37.520 shit fucks with your emotions. 1.00

01:05:39.420 Two years sober, 1.00

01:05:40.420 and I'm still feeling the,

01:05:43.060 uh,

01:05:43.980 the emptiness.

01:05:47.180 Uh,

01:05:47.540 I'm trying,

01:05:49.720 I got a full-time job,

01:05:50.800 a great job.

01:05:51.600 I'm a great employee.

01:05:52.920 I haven't missed a day of working over a year and a half.

01:05:56.540 Um,

01:05:57.200 I love it.

01:05:58.560 I love my job.

01:05:59.340 I'm outside all day.

01:06:00.260 That saved my life.

01:06:01.340 But man,

01:06:02.780 uh,

01:06:05.160 I feel empty then when I'm not working,

01:06:09.080 I feel empty.

01:06:12.800 Yeah.

01:06:13.340 You know,

01:06:13.740 I can really relate to that.

01:06:16.420 You know,

01:06:17.020 sometimes I notice I'll get,

01:06:19.380 I just have to keep doing work.

01:06:21.180 I can't sit there and not do work.

01:06:26.220 Cause then it's like,

01:06:27.260 if I don't have work,

01:06:28.280 then I'm almost just kind of left with who I am or something.

01:06:32.340 So I just lean so heavy into work,

01:06:39.560 man.

01:06:42.260 Um,

01:06:42.900 let's hear more.

01:06:47.140 Uh,

01:06:48.000 anyway,

01:06:50.560 people got it worse than I do.

01:06:52.280 I know that.

01:06:53.640 Uh,

01:06:54.120 all I gotta say is gang gang.

01:06:56.040 Gang,

01:06:56.620 bro.

01:06:59.980 um,

01:07:01.440 yeah,

01:07:02.000 you know,

01:07:02.340 life is a,

01:07:03.080 it's a survivor's game.

01:07:06.260 I mean,

01:07:06.760 it's a survivor's game,

01:07:08.060 man.

01:07:11.160 And sometimes it's,

01:07:12.940 you know,

01:07:13.420 sometimes I don't want to take care of myself really.

01:07:17.140 Sometimes I get tired of taking care of myself.

01:07:22.380 I just want to,

01:07:23.640 um,

01:07:24.760 let somebody else do it.

01:07:27.660 You know,

01:07:30.760 or I just want to,

01:07:31.760 but that's where you pull it up.

01:07:33.360 That's where we get,

01:07:34.240 that's where we get G up.

01:07:37.220 You know,

01:07:38.460 have a half a Red Bull or something.

01:07:41.380 You know,

01:07:41.860 sometimes you don't have the right word.

01:07:43.480 You don't have,

01:07:43.880 there's nothing to say.

01:07:44.780 Sometimes it's just,

01:07:46.480 we just keep battling,

01:07:48.000 man.

01:07:48.520 That's it.

01:07:49.680 We keep it cruising.

01:07:50.860 You know,

01:07:52.920 we do our own thing.

01:07:55.860 All right.

01:07:56.360 We got one last call here,

01:07:57.840 man.

01:07:58.300 And,

01:08:11.940 Um,

01:08:13.420 all right,

01:08:15.160 let's take one more call right here.

01:08:19.060 Hey,

01:08:21.100 I'm calling from Indiana.

01:08:24.740 What's up,

01:08:25.440 Darren?

01:08:27.100 Indiana.

01:08:32.340 In,

01:08:33.400 in,

01:08:34.020 in Indiana.

01:08:35.620 Indian.

01:08:36.860 Oh,

01:08:37.500 Indian.

01:08:37.820 I did not know that.

01:08:39.560 Yeah.

01:08:40.120 Uh,

01:08:40.820 I just wanted to say that I really support your move out of the Los Angeles

01:08:46.660 metropolis.

01:08:47.420 I've lived there.

01:08:48.520 I'm from,

01:08:49.000 I came from Toronto.

01:08:50.400 I lived in Los Angeles.

01:08:52.060 Now I'm living in Indiana.

01:08:54.320 Uh,

01:08:55.020 you know,

01:08:55.900 it's just a whole nother view of America.

01:08:57.660 I know you grew up more rural in Louisiana,

01:09:00.180 but man,

01:09:01.100 I think you need to reconnect with that.

01:09:02.580 Cause while you might be scared,

01:09:04.740 the benefits far away,

01:09:07.400 the fear.

01:09:08.380 You just,

01:09:09.320 you look around and you're like,

01:09:10.340 Oh,

01:09:10.620 Whoa,

01:09:10.860 what's that?

01:09:11.460 That's a blade of grass.

01:09:12.540 Oh,

01:09:12.860 Whoa,

01:09:12.980 what's that?

01:09:13.860 That's a leaf on a tree.

01:09:15.780 These are things you forget about when you're in LA.

01:09:17.820 This is endless.

01:09:18.580 There's no way to escape it.

01:09:19.540 Like other than going into the ocean,

01:09:20.960 you know,

01:09:21.220 and then you'll drown.

01:09:23.140 Yeah,

01:09:23.520 that's true.

01:09:24.820 You know,

01:09:25.140 LA,

01:09:25.400 it's just,

01:09:25.780 it's,

01:09:26.000 it's a never ending.

01:09:29.280 You know,

01:09:29.860 it's a never ending and look,

01:09:32.900 it's not a move.

01:09:34.840 You know,

01:09:35.420 it's a,

01:09:35.640 it's a test drive.

01:09:36.940 Um,

01:09:38.340 and,

01:09:39.100 but thank you for the well wishes,

01:09:40.320 man.

01:09:40.500 A lot of well wish calls came in,

01:09:42.260 you know,

01:09:43.060 a lot of people just saying,

01:09:44.320 Hey,

01:09:44.540 uh,

01:09:44.820 you know,

01:09:45.060 it's exciting and,

01:09:46.920 you know,

01:09:47.040 stay positive.

01:09:47.840 And,

01:09:48.180 you know,

01:09:48.300 I had that trouble last week at big lots and,

01:09:50.880 you know,

01:09:52.260 ran into some issues over there.

01:09:53.940 And,

01:09:54.220 uh,

01:09:55.860 and,

01:09:57.460 and so,

01:09:58.760 you know,

01:09:59.700 but,

01:10:00.920 you know,

01:10:02.400 I'm just rolling with the punches,

01:10:03.640 man.

01:10:04.420 You know,

01:10:04.960 and I'm trying to find things that,

01:10:06.600 that,

01:10:06.920 that will connect me because it's real easy for me to get disconnected.

01:10:12.460 You know,

01:10:12.960 it's easy for me to be disconnected,

01:10:14.760 man.

01:10:15.640 So,

01:10:16.220 so I'm trying to find little things to connect me and to just be a part of my own life,

01:10:21.980 man,

01:10:22.280 to stay active in my own life,

01:10:24.140 to get up each day and say,

01:10:26.040 all right,

01:10:26.400 this is,

01:10:27.380 you know,

01:10:28.720 and if I lose half the day to say,

01:10:30.560 Hey man,

01:12:28.620 Time is no stranger.

01:12:33.100 Love is laughing in the springtime,

01:12:36.100 the other day on my way to see you.

01:12:45.540 Crowds of people trying to stare.

01:12:49.240 There's nothing left to see.

01:12:52.400 You and me.

01:12:54.800 The fire,

01:12:55.800 the gender reveal fire is still burning.

01:12:58.300 And shout out to all the firemen and firewomen out there fighting that

01:13:00.960 blaze.

01:13:01.540 And I think it's consumed like 70,000 acres or something now.

01:13:05.240 And,

01:13:05.520 uh,

01:13:06.500 you know,

01:13:07.600 and they still don't know if it's a boy or a girl.

01:13:09.280 Isn't that crazy?

01:13:10.520 Really?

01:13:12.020 Wow.

01:13:13.820 So.

01:13:34.940 Cause you found someone else.
